ChiefHeadHunter:

I am a new member, but a long time reader of the forum. It' s one of the ways I did research for my recent bow purchase. I enjoy the forum, but as with any forum, you have all kinds of folks on board. But it doesn' t take you long to figure out those who are sensible in their approach.

I was as PSE owner and fan until I looked at Bowtech. I must credit my son with the interest in Bowtech as he has an 02' Extreme Solo. After much testing (PSE, Mathews,Hoyt,Bowtech,Fred Bear), I settled on the 03' Extreme VFT. In the end it was between a Hoyt Razortec and two Bowtechs (the VFT and the Pat DC). I thought I was going to buy the Pat DC, but chose the VFT. I shot all three side-by-side. For me, I just thought the VFT was a better fit for hunting(I don' t target shoot yet). I didn' t choose the Pat DC because of the short valley. It just seemed to me that in hunting situations (strange angles, etc.), the short valley could be an issue. I really liked the Razortec, too, but I was just as comfortable with the feel of the VFT, and it was considerably faster. So I now am the proud owner of a 70 lb./29" Extreme VFT (306 fps at 367 grains)
